Helpful Score: 3
I was disappointed with this book for several reasons. The stream-of-consciousness-eque writing is especially confusing when you're referring to a place or a style of language unfamiliar to the audience. The ending left much to be desired. Ms. Gordimer only made the situation more and more edgy, then kind of left it off. What she does well, though, is chronicle the evolution of relationships in a severely changed environment. What role do you take when your "boy" becomes your only means of survival? Recommended only for fans of Gordimer.
